So, just what was the Buffalo shooter's political ideology? [in his own words]

Please don't treat me like an idiot. I'd really appreciate it.

I'm the one asking the question. How is that treating you like an idiot?
Oh well, if you don't want to define one word you're using so we can be more clear about what it is we're talking about, that's fine. We'll just have to end it here.

Anything to distract from the fact that the boy is a white supremacist and a mass-murdering terrorist, who likely parroted stuff heard on Fox News in his manifesto. But ya, let's call him a socialist.
Actually he attacked Fox news for hiring Jews.

What difference does it make? A crazy nut case killed people. It doesn't matter what he believed. He could have said he was doing it for Jesus, he's still a nutcase who killed people. Crazy people will attach to anything to justify killing people. Whatever they believed means nothing. He was a racist nutcase. Period.
While I agree with you I think it does matter because there is a coordinated effort to blame this attack on Fox News and Tucker Carlson in particular

It makes a difference because his actions make the right look bad, but his words make the left look bad.

And if you can't trust the words of a mentally unbalanced mass murdering racist nutcase, who can you trust?
Instead of trying to make the other side look bad it would be more productive to try to understand why the system failed and how to prevent this from happening again. He wrote on a school paper that he wanted to kill a bunch of people then kill himself. He was taken for a mental evaluation and said he only said those things to get out of class. They believed him and released him after 20 hours. He wrote that he lied about that and that was why he was able to get a gun. There were red flags that were missed.

Not based in fact

Did Buffalo Shooter Attack Fox News?

But the suspect did not attack Fox News for its editorial coverage. Rather, the attack was related to the anti-Semitic notion that Jewish people run all news media. Not only is this false, but it is rooted in long-running, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories holding that Jewish people control the banks, the media, and the world in general. The ADL writes:
Did Buffalo Shooting Suspect Attack Fox News in 'Manifesto'?

I think you are mistaking pointing out the common ideology with blame.

Indeed -- NYs Red Flag laws didn't work this time... Does that mean we should do away with them?

"But the suspect did not attack Fox News for its editorial content rather the attack was aimed at the notion that Jews control all media" He featured Fox News personalities images stamped with Jewish stars
The accusation we read is that Fox hires Jews, and his complaint is that Jews control all media. That shows that the accusation is not factual.

What do you think he meant to imply by stamping their images with the star of David and Fox News is part of all media

It seems any discussion of illegal immigration is framed as Replacement Theory and Tucker Carlson has pointed out it's Democrats who are talking about changing demographics and how they benefit from them

Where were the parents? Oh, it is NY's fault.
There's only one person to assign fault to and that is the shooter but we should be examining why warning signs were ignored and how this might have been prevented

I would expect the PARENTS to see the warning signs and and utilize everything in their power to prevent this. Apparently you believe differently.

I would expect the parents to do the same but I don't know if I would say it's their fault and I definitely wouldn't say it's anyone else's fault. He didn't even live where it happened did he?

We aren't discussing fault, we are discussing prevention. We already know who to blame, you said it.

Are you implying he did not live with his parents?

Where did you find this? I've been trying to find the whole thing, but have been unable to.
I was able to download it shortly after the shooting took place from PDF Host. The link that I found it at is no longer working. I'm sure it's still being uploaded online, but whenever it is it's probably being taken down pretty fast.

You sarcastically said it's NY's fault when I was discussing prevention
